Patented June 4, 1907.

Application filed August 30,1905. Serial No. 276,481.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ADOLF J ULIUS GOLD, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Helena, State of Montana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Snowmobiles or Devices or Machines for Traveling on Snow, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to devices or machines for traveling upon snow and its object is to provide a device which is particularly simple in construction and efficient in use.

My invention includes the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which the figure shows the device in perspective.

The invention consists generally of a pair of shoes, or runners, of the skee type and a supporting frame for a rider and propelling mechanism.

The shoes, or runners, are designated a, the seat support for the rider 1) and the sup porting frame, which constitutes a part of the advancing mechanism, 0. This frame preferably comprises two sets of upper links (1 and two sets of lower links 6, the latter being fixedly connected at their lower ends to the runners a and pivotally connected at their upper ends to the lower ends of the links cl. The upper ends of the links (1 are pivotally connected to the seat support I) and the front pair of said links is provided with extensions above their pivotal connections which serve as handles g for operating the device. Spring connections h extend between the front and rear portions of the shoes and the corresponding ends of the said sup ort. Suitable foot rests t extend laterally from the links at the points of connection between the upper and lower members.

I claim:

In a device of the character described, a pair of runners, or shoes, a seat support, a supporting and propelling mechanism between the runners and said support, comprising pairs of links, the upper members of which are pivoted to the front and rear ends of the seat support, corresponding pairs of links secured to the runners and a pivotal connection between the adjacent ends of the links.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two attesting witnesses at Helena, Montana, this 18th day of December, 1906.

ADOLF JULIUS GOLD.
